Factmata Open Research Initiative

At Factmata, we believe solving fake news is our social responsibility. We think the problem
is too big and too important to be left to any one tech company, government or organisation.
Companies, researchers, governments and NGOs should work together to share data and
research, to make the Internet a better place for everybody

To that end, we intend to launch an open research initiative in 2018, making our data
available to other researchers, platforms, advertisers, innovators and interested parties.
We aim to build up a large, high quality, public dataset, in which millions of URLs will be
tagged according for attributes like bias, fake news and hateful content.

If you’d be interested in collaborating with us, helping us to
grow our public dataset or find new and innovative ways to use the information from it, then
drop us a line at
[email protected] and we’ll keep you up to date
with our plans.

Credibility Coalition

As part of our commitment to research partnerships, we’re a member of the Credibility Coalition,
an initiative aiming to build a set of standards for content credibility online. To find out
